Nathan Buckley

Nine AFL host Tony Jones says he's struggling to determine what the "end game" is for Heritier Lumumba afte...

He has on many occasions publicly detailed counts of racism he endured during his time at the club. even though this has been going on for some time, the release of those secret recordings took it to a whole new level. Speaking on ABC Breakfast on Wednesday morning, Lumumba hit back at Buckley's response, saying: "I have not released the full versions because it would be countless hours and what I would say to Nathan Buckley is that this is not a football match. "The other problem of course for the club today is the allegation released by Heritier that an assistant coach in 2014 used pornographic material to try and motivate the players," Jones added. "If there is to be some sort of litigation and monetary compensation for not only Heritier Lumumba, but other indigenous players, because of the way the club was perceived to have treated their indigenous players then that would be on the shoulders of the current board and the Collingwood Football Club as it stands now." I stopped taking orders from Nathan Buckley a very long time ago.

'I wasn't aware': Buckley responds to ex-Pie Lumumba's claims after secret recordings.

“This is one of the most intense broadcasts we did. There should be legal consequences because Nathan Buckley has had a conversation put on social media, which is the modern media, and he didn’t know anything about it. Buckley said on Melbourne radio earlier this week Lumumba was delivering “his perspective of the truth. You asked to be traded from the club. “I’ve given Nathan Buckley many years to grow and hopefully tell the truth. You asked to be removed from the leadership group and….

Lumumba can be heard responding: “I didn’t throw him under ... and we can’t go through that again. The writ was filed with the court but never served on Collingwood or the AFL. On Tuesday, Buckley responded on social media to Lumumba’s posts challenging the former Magpie to release the recordings he made in full: “Heritier, I offer you the opportunity to put a full and uncut version of our conversations on public record so as to provide context to our conversations and the support that was provided to you above and beyond that which could be reasonably expected in the circumstances.” On Monday he shared fresh allegations and grievances against the club. Lumumba first aired the claim that Buckley had accused him of throwing the president under the bus in his 2017 documentary and then on Twitter. Lumumba said the recordings were made before he departed the Magpies in acrimonious circumstances at the end of 2014 and they appear to support his previous claims that he was accused of throwing McGuire “under the bus”.

Héritier Lumumba has released a number of secret audio recordings from meetings between himself and former Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley.

I don’t know exactly what he’s looking for or what his requirements are to feel like he has been heard." I’ve gone through this whole year. And we can’t go through that again.

'Other areas when we talk about – misogyny, homophobia, those cultural aspects of an organisation – football clubs have come a long way.

“The AFL and CFC‘s sponsors cannot simply keep their heads in the sand. For the past 15 months, I‘ve been in dialogue with CFC, open to finding a way forward. “This was Buckley‘s attitude in 2014 when I simply asked for people’s basic human & workplace rights to be protected. “Buckley can talk all he likes about ‘multiple truths.’ I’ve always presented facts. I don’t know exactly what he’s looking for or what his requirements are to feel like he has been heard. Lumumba has spoken out repeatedly over an alleged racist culture he says existed at Collingwood during his time with the club. “It became too much for me, so I confronted him about it privately. I did this in good faith despite the Club’s history because I believed in the possibility of a process of healing and improvement. You threw him under the bus, mate.” “My claims about Buckley have always been consistent: That he was actively aware of serious cultural problems at Collingwood, and that he was instrumental in punishing me and pushing me out of the Club when I spoke up about these issues at all levels of CFC. This is incredibly shocking - being labelled as going 'rogue' for speaking up. “When it came to the culture of the club he became hyper defensive about being held to the standards and values he was supposed to be leading.”

"I offer you the opportunity to put a full and uncut version of our conversations on the public record so as to provide context to our conversations and the support that was provided to you above and beyond that which could be reasonably expected in the circumstances," Buckley said. The audio centres on Lumumba talking about then-president McGuire, and Buckley telling the player he had "gone rogue" and "thrown (McGuire) under the bus". In a long thread of tweets, Lumumba posted two recordings of a meeting between himself and Buckley that he says was taken in 2014.

“I take great pride in our environment right now and that’s all I can control,” McRae said on Wednesday following training. “I remain sceptical of any statements that Collingwood football club puts out and I think time will reveal all. “We want to get better in all areas and we’re not standing still.
